“…Considering the current status of the technology roadmap [18], microalgae have been evaluated as a fuel source rather than other novel applications [19]. However microalgae have potential more than being a fuel source but it holds a hidden know-how of the nature in its genome sequences [20]; actually microalgae provide alternative and natural compounds for pharmaceuticals [21], nutraceuticals [4], aquaculture [22] and cosmetics [23] as well.…”

“…Microalgal biotechnology is gaining advanced knowledge to build a microalgae based bioeconomy with the strong adaptability to human welfare [1]. The diversity of microalgal species and the essentials in microalgal metabolism as well as metabolites [2] which are open for innovations and creativity are the main driving forces on the road to innovative approaches of microalgal biotechnology [3][4][5]. One of the advantages of microalgae is its sustainable nature which is fundamental for cost-effective development and a microalgaebased bio-economy.…”

Microalgal biotechnology is a novel developing area which is persistent in most of the technological divisions. With the spread in microalgal biotechnology, there has been a peak in the number of products and services which has led to a new understanding covering the Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). IPRs are the legal rights of the developer to hold and protect the defined product or service. With the recent developments in microalgal biotechnology, a new understanding should be adopted in terms of covering the opportunities, threads, legal rights and ethical issues to benefit from more realistic, secure and sustainable production technologies and reliable products. Thus this study aims to display the relation of microalgal biotechnology with IPRs.

“…2,20 Although research for biologically active compounds from marine sources remains a relatively new field, marine-derived molecules possess many biological properties, which enable them to be utilized towards various human health benefits. 21,22 Marine peptides, depending on their amino acid composition and sequence, 23 have been found to hold several physiological functions, namely antioxidant, antihypertensive, antithrombotic and hypocholesterolemic activity. [24][25][26] Liaset et al, 27 observed that rats which were fed with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) reduced their visceral fat, compared to those which were administered soy protein or casein, suggesting a metabolic shift towards free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation.…”

Background: Obesity is the ultimate result of an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Currently, research has been focusing on specific food ingredients, which may have favorable effects on human metabolism and especially fat kinetics during exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of a commercially available 'fat-burner' (Thermobol), containing a mixture of some of the aforementioned thermogenic ingredients, as well as a commercially available fish protein hydrolysate (Nutripeptin TM), on enhancing fat metabolism during submaximal exercise, at the intensity which elicits maximal fat oxidation rates (Fat max). Methods: In a randomized, double-blind crossover study design, 7 obese (BMI>30kg m-2), male participants completed a graded treadmill-exercise preliminary testing, followed by three experimental trials. The trials consisted of 60-min treadmill task corresponding to the Fat max intensity (speed and incline gradient), determined by the preliminary testing. Four hours and ½hours before the trials, the participants ingested 3 capsules of placebo, 3 tablets of Thermobol, or 6 capsules of Nutripeptin TM. Results: During the three experimental trials, the absolute fat (gmin-1) and carbohydrate (gmin-1) oxidation rates did not differ significantly between the three supplements. Energy expenditure (kcalmin-1) was significantly higher in the Thermobol supplement, compared to placebo [mean (S.D); 8.03 (1.46) Vs 8.24 (1.39); p=.042)], whereas in the Nutripeptin TM supplement, it was not (8.21 (1.46) Vs 8.0 (1.46); p=.073). Heart rate (bpm), RPE, blood glucose (mmol L-1) and blood lactate (mmol L-1) responses were not found to be significantly different across the three experimental conditions. Conclusion: Although Thermobol appeared to influence metabolism during submaximal exercise at the Fatmax intensity, Nutripeptin TM did not provide any metabolic effect.

“…Nowadays, besides chemotherapy, radiation, cell or genetic therapeutic strategies as well as combinatorial strategies, the intervention via natural products for the prevention and treatment of cancers has gained tremendous attention due to their favorable safety and efficacy profiles (Kim and Park, 2002;Balunas and Kinghorn, 2005;Kinghorn et al, 2009;Vidanarachchi et al, 2012). The resource utilization of novel, effective, and low-toxic natural products for the development of anticancer drugs will result in gigantic medical values and social benefits for cancer patients based on the rational regulation of autophagy functional status.…”

“…Therefore, developing effective and lowtoxic anticancer drugs or strategies is highly urgent and desired. In the past 5 decades, a series of natural products with the capability to regulate physiological functions have been isolated and exploited from plants, animals and microorganisms, and most of which have revealed obvious anticancer activity (Kim and Park, 2002;Balunas and Kinghorn, 2005;Kinghorn et al, 2009;Vidanarachchi et al, 2012). Natural products enriched flavonoids from fruits have confirmed their anti-carcinogenic, anti-proliferative, co-chemotherapeutic and estrogenic effects through various mechanisms such as modulating cell cycles, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting ERK phosphorylation, and so on (Meiyanto et al, 2012).…”

It is well known that conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy can result in toxicity to both normal cells and tumor cells, which causes limitations in the application of these therapeutic strategies for cancer control. Novel and effective therapeutic strategies for cancers with no or low toxicity for normal cells are a high priority. Therefore, natural products with anticancer activity have gained more and more attention due to their favorable safety and efficacy profiles. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that several representative natural compounds such as resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, curcumin, allicin and ginsenosides have obvious anticancer potential. In this article, we summarize autophagy-associated targeting pathways of such natural products for inducing the death of cancer cells, and discuss the core autophagic pathways involved in cancer treatments. Recent advances in the discovery, evaluation and exploitation of natural compounds as therapeutic agents for cancers will provide references and support in pre-clinical and clinical application of novel natural drugs for the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors in the future.
